NAME

6       plsesc - Set the escape character for text strings
7

SYNOPSIS

9       plsesc(esc)
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Set the escape character for text strings.  From C (in contrast to For‐
13       tran 77, see plsescfortran77(3plplot)) you pass  esc  as  a  character.
14       Only  selected characters are allowed to prevent the user from shooting
15       himself in the foot (For example, a  isn't allowed since  it  conflicts
16       with C's use of backslash as a character escape).  Here are the allowed
17       escape characters and their  corresponding  decimal  ASCII  values:  !,
18       ASCII 33 #, ASCII 35 $, ASCII 36 %, ASCII 37 &, ASCII 38 *, ASCII 42 @,
19       ASCII 64 ^, ASCII 94 ~, ASCII 126
